    Some particular shows are better as Americans versions, I’ll not deny that.

    I haven’t watched either of the Offices, but I have watched the entire American “Shameless” and that was glorious and fitting. The British version I glanced at was really meh. And whilst British comedy in general might be better, good comedy in a bad show is less valuable than mediocre comedy in a good show.

    It’s like good food. Good side dishes won’t completely cover for a bad main dish, but if the main dish is really moorish, you won’t care about the side dishes being so-and-so.

    Edit also do you like to think your username is pronounced “rhee-ri”, or “rhow-eh-ri”. People ask me about the pronunciation of mine sometimes and just made me question how you think yours…?

          It’s “Rory,” but I’d never thought it could be pronounced any other way until now. Lol.

          I’d imagine yours is pronounced: “Dah-suse”?

            “Rory"

            Yeah okay that’s a simpler way of writing the latter way, then way I thought it probably would be.

            Dah-sus is more or less how I imagined it originally yes. Like the “da” from “da man” as in “the” and the “sus” not from the phenomena a few years ago where everything was “sus”, but from the Finnish word for wolf, “susi”.

            I know it’s cringe but it was like 2002 when I came up with it.

            And I’ve had friends go “deyh-sus” “deissus”, sort of, and I’m comfortable with it, but it’s not like how I meant it.

            Rory… Amy relation? (Pun intended.) (so bad-ass btw)

              Love Doctor Who, love Rory, but no. No relation. It’s just a name. Boring, but the truth.

                His completely unabashed boring-ness is what makes him so bad-ass. I bet you’d wait a thousand years for your loved one as well, you bad-ass.
